Thermal Infrared Imaging has proven to be an ideal inspection method for all types of predictive maintenance in the electrical field. Infrared gives us the ability to “see” and measure temperatures on defective components and the normal wear, chemical contamination, corrosion, fatigue and faulty assembly in many electrical systems.

The ways in which we can use this technology are only limited by our imagination. The basic premise behind this discipline is that all objects above absolute zero(-459 F, -273 C) give off invisible infrared radiation when a suitable medium is present (a gas or a vacuum).

Energy Conservation

A recent article in National Geographic Magazine explores the possibilities of energy conservation and the trials that a few volunteers went through as they tried to cut their carbon emissions by 80%. An important aspect in energy conservation is the ability to minimize energy lost from buildings. Infrared inspections play a large role in helping determine where energy loss is in any structure.

However, these thermal imaging devices can also be used with great success by commercial roofing inspectors to identify leaks, defects, moisture, and mold. A trained thermographer will be able to interpret these infrared scans and suggest remedial action for these common roof problems.

The is requirement of maintaining the correct temperature is the requirement of each and every homeowner. There are several devices and equipment available in the market which are used everywhere to maintain the appropriate temperature. The requirement of these devices is to maximize the difference between the temperature of the interior and the surrounding. But having all those devices do not assure that you will get the desired results. There may be many defects in the home which does not allow those devices to function properly. A lot of money is gets wasted due to the high energy consumption of these devices.

A fact Mary Duan points out in her recent U.S. News & World Report article is that "[m]ore than $70 billion of the funds provided by the act will go to energy-related investment, making clean tech the low-hanging fruit of job development." Just how will that money translate into jobs? A large chunk of it will be used to reinsulate and weatherize existing buildings, and individuals knowledgeable in the use of digital thermographic cameras have a key role to play.

To answer that question, we need to answer a few other questions first. How do we see? How can you detect light that is invisible to the eye? How does this help us to "see" when there is no "light"? What other information can invisible light give us?
